I had this procedure performed on January 7, 2015. It appears there was no problem with the canthopexy surgery on both eyes, but my lower left eye has fat pads. I looked better before the surgery. The plastic surgeon is not making himself responsible for the poor result. Fortunately, I am going to my former employer in Hawaii to have a revision which he recommended in six months. .

Answer: Fat Pockets after Eyelid Surgery Residual fat pockets under the eyelids after lower eyelid surgery is not uncommon and generally easy to fix with a secondary procedure to remove the additional fat. Once fat is removed from the lower eyelid the remaining fat can migrate into the vacant area creating a new bulge. Generally it is only a small amount of additional fat that needs to be removed to resolve the bulge or full area. My recommendation is to return to the operative surgeon to discuss. No one is more motivated to make you happy than the surgeon who did the initial procedure. Generally these "touch up" procedures are done with little or no additional charge.

Answer: Lower blepharoplasty Thank you for the posting. I assume the procedure involved fat excision rather preservation/transposition. The left asymmetry is likely related to incomplete/asymmetric excision of the medial and lateral fat pockets. Possible lower eyelid malposition. Revisional blepharolasty surgery is a very sensitive procedure and I strongly recommend that you consult with someone who specialises in eyelid surgery.
